    Yes, but if you pay cash at the turnstile. How do you know which of those 8,000 seats are free? A non-regular fan could pay his £25, enter the stadium and sit in someone’s seat.

    You know our tribal some of our fans are. It’d be a bloodbath :rolleyes:

    Yeah but your ‘two minute queue’ has already increased to ‘about 5mins’ in just a few seconds. By the time the rush starts tomorrow, the queue will be hours long ;)

    Serious question to those commenting on the que times... have any of you actually had the pleasure of queing for a ticket before a game, it can take a while.

    Is that because of the lack of seats available next to each other ? So they spend time looking for 2/3/4 next to each other?

    Guessing you never go to the cinema then?

    There you have to queue at the ticket office to buy your ticket and then queue at the screen to go in. Never seen anyone trying to pay at the screen

    Because every ticket has a block and seat number printed on it. Surely you've paid cash on a turnstile before?

    To be honest, it's not me that takes ages to buy a ticket. But yes I guess that with the number of season tickets sold that could be the issue.

    Some people seem to take an age finding the right seats. I'll sit where ever I'm allocated

    Only for FA Cup games and then you usually don’t get a ticket when paying at the turnstiles.

    I have paid at away grounds and usually not received a ticket either.

    What if 3 non- season ticket holders join the queue and all get given a ticket on w different row? You seriously think they would just sit in the seats designated on their tickets?

    Not that this is any different from not buying a ticket to those that get one but sit elsewhere

    So before every game all the tickets for the empty seats are printed off and given to the turnstile
    Operator? Then at the end of the day they are all binned. Sounds like a right waste of cash.
    And then does the turnstile operator go through the pile of tickets looking for four seats next to each other, 3 adults and a child?

    Thank you so much for your positive reply.
    I have been a season ticket holder since 1989.
    I am only interested in the welfare of the club and I enjoy matches more when the stadium is full.
    It is my view the club does nothing at all to promote individual games as they approach.
    They think the stadium fills itself because we are Bradford City
    They are wrong and need to apply themselves to that failure for all the remaining games this season.
    New punters are the way we will reach our new season ticket target

    Can you pay cash at the cinema without going to box office to buy a ticket?
    Can you walk into a theatre without a ticket a ticket.
    It’s clearly obvious you need to visit the ticket office first. Stop being a complete bell end!!
